    The Solyndra CEO Brian Harrison begins his sworn testimony proceeding with his initial statement about his “… great respect for the subcommittee…”

    Sure he does...:bsflag:

    Guilty? Probably but I doubt anything will ever come of it.

    What is publically known so far is that The White House fast-tracked almost a half billion dollar ($535 million) loan guarantee to a privately held company (Solyndra) consisting of a primary investor who just happen to also be a major Obama campaign donor /bundler (George Kieser of Tulsa, OK), who is in line to receive his investment back before the taxpayers who ultimately provided the loan guarantee capital. Forget the two 5th amendment exercising Solyndra clowns— and focus on the loan: 1) the how and why its origination and approval, 2) possible WH influence in the loan guarantee (e.g., why the administration rushed Office of Management and Budget officials to finish their review of the loan in time for the September 2009 Solyndra groundbreaking), and 3) why the administration restructured the Solyndra loan in February in such a way that private investors (who just happen to be major contributors /bundlers to the Obama campaign coffer) moved ahead of U.S. taxpayers for repayment in case of default (e.g., the economic stimulus law provides for taxpayers to be ahead of other creditors in the event of insolvency or default)?

    The loan committee, during the Bush administration Dept of Energy ended all dialogue with Solyndra but they (Solyndra) were put back on the fast-track once Obama took office despite all the warnings that Solyndra was not ready for [Prime time]. And with thirty or more visits from Obama's campaign monies bundler and Solyndra investor Kieser to the White House— Solyndra was given half a billion of taxpayer backed dollars in time for both Biden and Obama's Solyndra green jobs photo ops (?).

    In other words, politics as usual. I guess the current administration is running under the assumption that it has money to spare :thinking:

    I did a small amount of research into the top few candidates in the next presidential election and found them all guilty of using tax payer dollars to reimburse- several times over- their biggest campaign donors. SHOCKING!!!!! :sleeping:

    Well, I don't need the conservative media (that would be Fox News, I suppose) to tell me anything because I don't watch them and I watch the Daily Show..well...daily. :)

    And that's not exactly true - Jon is very, very, very, very, very, very nice with Obama in a very strong contrast with the way he treats every other politician (Republican or Democrat).

    It would appear that the politicians don’t concern themselves with their corruptive ways because the citizenry believe that it’s just business as usual (e.g., politics /apathy) and is acceptable. Status quo and no accountability, so there’s no need to change anything …RIGHT

    BTW, who has Herman Cain reimbursed with tax payer dollars?

    lol, that was going to be my comment.

    All I know of Herman Cain is that his 999 tax plan was created by leprechauns, he believes that the constitution doesn't apply to Muslims, and he doesn't like to read :popworm:

    I seem to remember Ron Paul being squeaky clean in the dirty money department, but nobody seems to be giving him much attention.

    I have a different theory. Politicians are shy about exposing their opponents corruptions because they don't want their opponents exposing their own. It's like a "gentleman's agreement" that they all just shut up about it, lest the floodgates be open and they all be outed.

    I only watch it once in a while, so I'll take your word on it. The few times I watched, he seemed pretty even handed, but I don't watch enough to have made that judgment. I'll submit the possibility that I was wrong on my previous comment. Stupid internet... never forgets an error...

    I'll add in a few more things about Cain. Self-made black man, mathematician and successful businessman. The son of a cleaning woman and a janitor-Cain is also someone who, like the son of a bitch that he is, tries to speak common sense.

    I have no specific proof, but I bet he's a racist, too.

    I think one aspect of this whole "Solyndra" debacle is that the White House rushed that money to Solyndra so that investors could get their money back; the Democratic Party of California was one of those investor groups who got their money back. Do you think anything will come of that? Most likely no, but it shows the level of corruption and conflict of interest that exists.
